Scintillators are widely used in radiation detection applications in basic science and
industry. Scintillators are generally solids and consist of an emission center and a host …

There exists an ongoing need to develop and improve methods of detecting radioactive
materials. As each radioactive isotope leaves a unique mark in a form of the particles it …

The 3 He shortage is forcing the neutron community to look for other detection methods. The
inorganic scintillator may be an alternative. Thermal-neutron detection by means of …

A recent study has revealed that a Eu-doped LiCaAlF 6 (Eu: LiCAF) crystalline scintillator
showed good scintillation response under thermal neutron exposure. We discover here that …

Optical properties of Ce^ 3+-doped Li_2O-B_2O_3-SiO_2 glasses prepared in inert
atmosphere have been examined. Clear splitting of 4f-5d excitation bands is observed in …

Eu2+ 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% activated LiF–SrF2 eutectic scintillators were prepared by the
Bridgman method using 6Li enriched (95%) raw material. The α-ray-induced radio …

The global challenge of on-site detection of highly enriched uranium (HEU), a substance
with considerable potential for unauthorized use in nuclear security, is a critical concern …

Neutrons are used in various fields including industry (manufacture of radioisotopes),
science (elemental analysis and radiography), and medicine (boron neutron capture …

NaI: Tl, 6Li single crystals, due to low use cost and an efficient gamma ray () and neutron ()
detection capability, have been regarded as promising scintillators. In this work, NaI: Tl, 6Li …

The origin of the fast scintillation component of Ce-doped LiCaAlF 6 crystal excited by
gamma ray irradiation was studied with X-ray and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation. A fast …
